  Thimerosal contains mercury. It is added to multi-dose vials of vaccines toprevent bacterial contamination when more than one needle is inserted into

the vial. In the United States, infants and children received high quantities ofmercury from several CC-recommended vaccines that contained thimerosal-- Ta!, hepatitis " and #aemophilus influen$ae type b %#ib& -- until about'((' when thimerosal was removed from most vaccines.

  Today, developed countries continue to in)ect significant quantities ofmercury from thimerosal-containing influen$a vaccines into pregnant women,infants and children.

The Great Thimerosal(Mercury) Vaccine Cover-

upBy Dawn Prate

You have probably seen your nurse insert a syringe into a large vial, extractsome liquid, and then leave a substantial amount o vaccine in the originalcontainer! " you#ve witnessed this seemingly benign procedure, you#ve seenhow vaccine manuacturers are saving money at the expense o publichealth! "n order to store larger amounts o vaccine at a lower cost,companies began oering $multi-dose units$ while adding preservatives to

 prevent contaminations! %hat way doctors can open and close a vaccinecontainer, inviting germs into the once-sterile solution, while assuring the

 public that those contaminants are quic&ly &illed by the preservative! 

'ound amiliar( "t#s the same story o corporate )merica#s love aair with preservatives! "t saves them money, while posing an undue ris& to yourhealth! But li&e many toxic preservatives ound in ood, a vaccine

 preservative &ills more than *ust bacteria and ungi+ it can lead to extensiveneurological damage in your children, and has even been implicated inautism! 

%himerosal 

%himerosal is the preservative o choice or vaccine manuacturers! irst

introduced by li .illy and /ompany in the late 102s and early 1032s, thecompany began selling it as a preservative in vaccines in the 1042s!%himerosal contains 40!5 percent mercury by weight and is metaboli6ed ordegraded into ethylmercury and thiosalicylate! ercury, or more precisely,ethylmercury, is the principle agent that &ills contaminants! 8nortunately,mercury also &ills much more than that! 

%he Department o Deense classiies mercury as a ha6ardous material thatcould cause death i swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the s&in!'tudies indicate that mercury tends to accumulate in the brains o primatesand other animals ater they are in*ected with vaccines!

ercury poisoning has been lin&ed to cardiovascular disease, autism,sei6ures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia and many other nervoussystem conditions! %hat#s why the D) rigorously limits exposure tomercury in oods and drugs! 'ome common sources o mercury includedental amalgam illings, various vaccines and certain ish contaminated by

 polluted ocean waters! 

%he toxicity o mercury has never been in question! %he real question is precisely how much mercury-laced thimerosal is toxic, and what are the possible consequences or our children at low doses( 

li .illy and /o! supposedly answered this question or us bac& in 1032!/oncluding thimerosal to be o $a very low order o toxicity ! ! ! or man,$

the company hired its own doctors to perorm thimerosal experiments in"ndianapolis /ity 9ospital on meningitis patients during a severe outbrea&in 100! %his 52-year-old evidence was still quoted on the company#s

 brochures as recently as 1002! )ndrew :aters, who is involved in a lawsuitagainst li .illy, claims that most critical studies on the toxicity othimerosal were suppressed by the company until now! 

Banned )round %he :orld - But ;ot "n %he 8' 

%hat might explain why thimerosal was eliminated in many countries 2

years ago! "n 1077, a <ussian study ound that adults exposed toethylmercury, the orm o mercury in thimerosal, suered brain damageyears later! 'tudies on thimerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosisand nervous system in*ury, including obtundation, coma and death! )s aresult o these indings, <ussia banned thimerosal rom children#s vaccinesin 10=2! Denmar&, )ustria, >apan, ?reat Britain and all the 'candinaviancountries have also banned the preservative! 

li .illy stuc& to its $scientiic$ acts, but the truth began slipping betweenthe crac&s in 1000! )ter the number o immuni6ations rose to 1 to 1@ per

child, the public inally became privy to the possible dangers o thimerosal!Ane 1000 study revealed that some inants, due to a genetic ordevelopmental actor, lac& the ability to eliminate mercury! %race amountso mercury in these inants, when accumulated over several vaccines, could

 pose a severe health ris&! 

'ome vaccines, such as vaccines or hepatitis B, contained as much as 1!@micrograms o mercury per dose! %hat#s more than 122 times the P)#supper limit standard when administered to inants! 

9epatitis B vaccines aren#t the only immuni6ations under suspicion!

)ccording to Burton ?oldberg in )lternative edicine, scientists areinding stronger and stronger lin&s between thimerosal and neurologicaldamage! Ane report by Dr! i*endra 'ingh o the Department oPharmacology at the 8niversity o ichigan ound a higher incidence o

 percent increase in autism between 10=7 and 100=! aryland reported a @13 percent increase in autism between 1003 and 100= and several do6en other

states reported similar indings! 'ome scientists say the estimated number o cases o autism has increased 1@-old 1,@22 percent since 1001, when thenumber o childhood vaccinations doubled! :hereas one in every ,@22children was diagnosed with autism beore 1001, one in 155 children nowhave the disease! 

%his increase in reported autism cases eerily parallels the increase in thenumber and requency o thimerosal-containing vaccinations administeredto inants! )s o today, children are given as many as 1 immuni6ations inthe irst 1@ months o lie! )ter a number o scientists and concerned

activists noticed the correlation, an investigation was launched to get to theheart o the matter! 

'tatistical evidence lin&s thimerosal with nervous system disorders "n >une222, ederal oicials and industry representatives were assembled by the/enters or Disease /ontrol and Prevention to discuss the disturbingevidence! )ccording to %om erstraeten, an epidemiologist who hadanaly6ed the data on the /D/#s database, thimerosal appeared to beresponsible or a dramatic increase in autism and other neurological

:hile oicials at the /enter or Disease /ontrol claim evidence is lac&ingto support the possible ris&s o thimerosal, Dr! ar& ?eier, a arylandgeneticist and vaccinologist, along with his son and research partner David?eier, says the /D/ has chosen to ignore the science! )ccording to Dr!?eier, more than @,222 articles have been published that question the saetyo thimerosal in vaccines! 

%he ?eiers analy6ed the data and determined that the more thimerosal achild receives, the greater his or her chances are o being autistic! %he /D/says the ?eiers misused inormation rom a /D/ database that was notintended to help prove theories! ?iven no real causal mechanism lin&ingthimerosal and autism, the game seems to have become one o slanting thedata to suit the needs o government and industrial interests! ven

erstraeten has admitted that these $inconclusive$ indings certainly don#trule out the possibility o inding a lin& in the uture!  

?rassroots )ction )gainst accine anuacturers 

?iven the dearth o health organi6ations owning up to the dangers othimerosal, many parents ollowed their gut instincts and too& legal actionagainst vaccine manuacturers! ore than 4,22 amilies have iled lawsuitsclaiming thimerosal caused in*uries to their children! %hese lawsuits otenhave two goalsG irst, to see& reparations or the loss o consortium

Cbasically meaning that an autistic child creates emotional and psychological burdens on their amily lie, and second, to ensure that thesecompanies exercise more concern or public health and less concern ortheir own bottom line! 

%he lawsuits are slow in producing results! %he irst constraint on theselawsuits is the ;ational /hildhood accine )ct o 10=5! %his act stipulatesthat victims cannot see& redress in the courts without irst iling a claim orrecovery in the ederal accine /ourt! %he statute o limitations or this iswithin three years o $the irst symptom or maniestation o onset or o the

signiicant aggravation o a Hvaccine-relatedI in*ury!$ 

"n the cases o many thimerosal victims, the lin& between autism andvaccines didn#t appear until six years ater the irst vaccine wasadministered! :hile this statute has stopped some claims against vaccinemanuacturers, including such big irms as )ventis, ?laxo'mithEline,erc& and >ohnson F >ohnson, many *udges are now allowing suits againstli .illy, the ma&er o thimerosal, to stand! :hile the accine )ct shieldsvaccine manuacturers, one *udge reasons that the legislation does not

 protect the production o thimerosal because it is a $component!$

%he burden o proo in court is also extremely problematic or most o thesesuits! ?iven the supposed lac& o scientiic data, lawyers are hard-pressed to

 prove the lin& between thimerosal and autism! "n what seems li&e anunderhanded move, the /D/ sold its data to a private company, ensuring

that lawyers could not access it under the reedom o "normation )ct! 

"n the past ive years, /ongress has also aided vaccine manuacturers,supposedly or $security$ reasons! "n 22, a mysterious piggybac& on the22 9omeland 'ecurity bill reed drug companies o liability in lawsuitsregarding thimerosal! /alled the $li .illy Protection )ct$ by outraged

"ronically, oreign biological terrorism hasn#t been a big problem or)merican citi6ens, but those whose lives Cand the lives o their childrenhave been aected i not ruined by the harmul eects o thimerisol wouldundoubtedly say these potentially harmul vaccines are indeed a problem!)rmey#s piggybac& bill was repealed in 223, but that didn#t stop lawma&ersrom continuing to protect the vaccine industry!

 provision in the 22@ 'enate Bill '-3 called the $Protecting )merica in the:ar on %error )ct,$ that would eectively insulate the pharmaceuticalindustry rom liability or thimerosal poisoning! Pharmaceuticalmanuacturers, including erc&, ?laxo'mithEline, )ventis, :eyeth and li.illy, can basically get o scot-ree or their actions, even as more and moreevidence suggests that top company oicials were aware o the possibledangers and did nothing!

Dr! 9illeman told executives that six-month-old children receivingregular immuni6ations requently received mercury doses =7 times higherthan guidelines or the maximum consumption o mercury! ?iven today#s

more prudent mercury standards, those thimerosal doses would be 422times that o sae levels!

Cinsulation o nerve ibers could explain mercury#s propensity to causeautism and neurological damage! %his may also account or the requentdevelopment o epilepsy in older autistic children!

Proof That Thimerosal Induces Autism-Lie !euroto"icity

Au#ust $%& '$$

) new scientiic study proves that the mercury-based compound used as vaccine preservative -- &nown as MthimerosalN -- induces neural damage similar to that seen inautism patients!

)ccording to the study, thimerosal-induced cellular damage caused concentration- and

time-dependent mitochondrial damage, reduced oxidative-reduction activity, cellulardegeneration, and cell death! %himerosal at low concentrations induced signiicantcellular toxicity in human neuronal and etal cells!

%himerosal was ound to be signiicantly more toxic than the other metal compoundsexamined!

"Nm always pleased to see another study conirming what vaccine-saety advocateshave tried to get across or so longOthat the mercury-based preservative thimerosal isseriously bad news and should never be in*ected! " donNt &now how much proo will

 be required ta&e to get the truth to inally get through, but a mountain o evidence is

apparently still not enough or some nay-sayers!

%his latest study conirms that damage does occur in human neuronal and etal cells,even at low concentrations!

)s youNve li&ely heard by now, rates o autism in the 8!'! have increased nearly 52-old since the late 1072s, rising right along with the increasing number o vaccinationsadded to the childhood vaccination schedule!

%his otentimes debilitating neurological disorder now aects about one in 1@2 8!'!children, but an article in the Daily Mail  two years ago reported the rate o autism in?reat Britain could be as high as 1 in @=!

)lthough autism may be apparent soon ater birth, most autistic children experience atleast several months, or even a year or more o normal development -- ollowed byregression, deined as loss o unction or ailure to progress!

%ypically, by the age o three, at which time the child has received at least 4 o theirscheduled vaccinations, symptoms o autism are ully apparent, aecting theircommunication and social s&ills, and impairing the child#s ability to play, spea& andrelate to the world!

The Genetic Catch-All

7/26/2019 The Great Thimerosal

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-great-thimerosal 18/22

any have tried to debun& the autism-vaccine lin&, otentimes blaming the disorderon genetic actors, but the connection reuses to go away! )nd or valid reasons!

'o ar, scientists have been able to lin& genetic deects to a mere one percent  oautism cases! )lthough the other 00 percent are still unaccounted or, conventional

media rarely underscore this act, ocusing instead on the minority lin& to genetic predisposition!

or example, last year the 8!'! government concluded that childhood vaccinescontributed to symptoms o autism in 0-year-old 9annah Poling! )ccording to 8!'!Division o accine "n*ury /ompensation, the shots $signiicantly aggravated anunderlying mitochondrial disorder$ and resulted in a brain disorder $with eatures oautism spectrum disorder!$

)gain, they inally conceded that those with genetic predispositions can developautism when in*ected with thimerosal! But industry is still reusing to ta&e any

responsibility or having anything to do with the other 00 percent o autism cases, andour health oicials are playing along, protecting the interests o industry, not that oyour child!

)nd bear in mind, mercury is not the one and only potential danger hiding invaccines! )luminum is yet another neurotoxic poison used as an immune-suppressingad*uvant! Cor more on that, please see this previous article, which covers that issue ingreater detail!

)ll this lopsided logic serves no one except Big Pharma, and their ingerprints are allover the so-called evidenceQ proving that vaccines are sae!

The Cover-p of Thimerosal *an#ers

our years ago, <obert ! Eennedy, >r! wrote a must-read Rolling Stone article exposing the truth about the drug industry#s greed, and the secret gathering where a

 plan was hatched to cover up the dangers o thimerosal!

)ccording to EennedyNs account, in >une o 222, a group o top governmentscientists and health oicials -- including high-level oicials rom the /enters orDisease /ontrol and Prevention C/D/, the ood and Drug )dministration CD), the

top vaccine specialists rom the :orld 9ealth Argani6ation C:9A, andrepresentatives rom every ma*or vaccine manuacturer -- secretly gathered to discussthe use o thimerosal in childhood vaccines!

Data indicated that the toxic heavy metal appeared to be responsible or a drasticincrease in autism and other neurological disorders among children!

9owever, rather than ta&ing every precaution to protect public health, they spent thema*ority o the next two days plotting how to protect the industryNs bottom line bygetting rid o the troubling data!

%he /D/ played their part in the cover-up byG

)lthough thimerosal was eventually removed rom the ma*ority o childhood vaccinesin 221, itNs still  used in some multi-dose vials, and is present in nearly all seasonallu vaccines!

)nd, thimerosal-containing vaccines already produced were not recalled, so childrenmost li&ely continued to receive the tainted vaccines until stoc&s were depleted!

+o& ,hat *o ,e no. A/out Thimerosal0

%himerosal C%', which is used in vaccines as a preservative, is 40!5 percentethylmercury Ce9g! "t is already an established act that exposure to mercury cancause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysunctions -- all similar to traits deining, or associated with autism!

%he study above *ust puts yet another nail in the coin!

Because o the ever increasing number o required childhood vaccines, thimerosal has become a ma*or source o mercury in children! :ithin the irst two years o lie, a

child may already have received a quantity o mercury that clearly exceeds saetyguidelines!

?enetic predisposition and a number o other environmental actors, such as exposureto other toxins, and diet, are li&ely ma*or contributing actors that determine whether achild will be able to manage the toxic insult, or develop a neurological disorder li&eautism!

1ther Issues Compoundin# the *an#ers of Thimerosal

%he timing o vaccines is also an important actor! )ccording to Dr! <ussell Blayloc&,

multiple vaccines given close together over-stimulate your brain#s immune systemand, via the mechanism o $bystander in*ury,$ destroy brain cells!

9e wrote an excellent, in-depth paper  on this issue!

" you have not already read it, " highly recommend you give it a moment o your timeas it is incredibly inormative! "n it he presents compelling evidence o the lin&

 between excessive vaccinations and neurodevelopmental disorders!

Your immune system is very complex! ;aturally, the immune system o a baby is not

the same as that o an adult, as it is not yet ully ormed! Both animal and humanstudies have conirmed that immune reactions to vaccinations dier at dierent ages!

7/26/2019 The Great Thimerosal

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-great-thimerosal 20/22

%he rate o maturation o the immune system also diers considerably among babiesand children, and when combined with variables such as other toxic exposures anddiet, thereNs no way o oretelling what eect a toxin li&e thimerosal will cause in).. children!

or example, luoroaluminum ormed in luoridated drin&ing water also interereswith immune unction and can signiicantly compound the damage incurred rommercury, as can many insecticides and herbicides used around your home!

)s or diet, thereNs substantial evidence that omega-5 oils are powerul pro-inlammatories and cause immune suppression when consumed in large amounts!%hese oils include corn, salower, sunlower, canola, peanut and soybean oils!

" you or your child eat a standard )merican diet, youNre consuming about @2 timesmore omega-5 ats than you need or health!

'o it stands to reason that the average child is exposed to a number o substances bothin their ood and environment that can alter their immunity, hence ma&ing them moresusceptible to vaccine complications!

8nortunately, the standard childhood vaccination schedule ignores all thesevariables!

2o. Many Vaccinations are Too Many0

%here seems to be no maximum number o vaccines that a child can be exposed to in

sight! %hin& about itG in 10=3, beore the autism epidemic began, children received 12vaccinations beore attending school! %oday they receive 4 vaccines beore the ageo 1, and 35 by the time they attend school! )nd thatNs not including the recommendedseasonal lu shot each year!

.i&e smo&ing and lung cancer, thereNs enough proo today to call a complete halt tothe present excessive vaccine program and ban any level o mercury in vaccines!

But *ust li&e the case o Big %obacco, Big Pharma reuses to do whatNs right and protect you and your children rom unnecessary harm!

More 3ecent 4vidence

%hereNs yet another recent study conirming the lin& between low-level mercury poisoning in children and diagnoses o autism spectrum disorder C)'D!

Published in the Journal of Neurological Sciences in 'eptember 22=, the study wasthe irst prospective, blinded cohort study to examine children diagnosed with an )'Dusing urinary porphyrin proile analysis C8PP) to assess the physiological eects omercury toxicity! %hey also used glutathione analysis to assess the childrenNssusceptibility to mercury poisoning!

/hildren with severe )'Ds had signiicantly higher levels o mercury intoxication incomparison to participants with mild )'Ds!

7/26/2019 The Great Thimerosal

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-great-thimerosal 21/22

"t was also established that glutathione, a &ey biochemical in your bodyNs mercurydetoxiication pathway, was signiicantly lower in patients diagnosed with an )'D incomparison with the control group!

"Nd li&e to point out, though, that although this study shows a relationship between

lower glutathione levels and greater severity o autism, mercury is not the only toxinthat can aect glutathione levels! %hereNs a plethora o toxins in your dailyenvironment that contribute to your toxic load, so any number o toxins may becontributing to the problem!
